Open standards, messages, streams - The Next Big Things
10:15 - 10:45 - Telford Theatre
Speaker: Jan Wildeboer, Red Hat
Abstract: Cloud computing, virtualisation, XaaS, netbooks, buzzword all over the place. Let's move up a bit and find the bigger picture. What is really happening? Interoperability based on Open Standards delivers far more as you would expect. It paves the way to a new paradigm that does not need local applications. A world in which messages and streams deliver you the content you need adapted to your context. Open Source is about to deliver on these promises. But it needs an ecosystem to flourish. Let's look at the details."
